Deadmau5 Explains To Idiots Why Copyright Matters On Twitter

A couple days ago, rap group $uicideboy$ allegedly used an entire section of deadmau5′ 2008 Kaskade collaboration, ‘I Remember’, for their track, ‘Antarctica’. (The track has since been taken down from Soundcloud and YouTube.)

After issuing a copyright claim on the track, deadmau5 had to field angry tweets from fans of the rap group, claiming that he was only in it for the money, among claims like “it was only just a sample, calm down bro!”

The fanbase, which was apparently blissfully unaware of copyright law or the concept of intellectual property, was thusly schooled by deadmau5 repeatedly.

Lover of all bass music. I'm not afraid to speak my mind and put it to paper, and I do it often. I call Los Angeles my home, there's no better place for emerging EDM. Get in touch with me more via email or Twitter.
